Look out for the mac who attempts to deceive you wheo you call for De? witt's Witch Hazel Salve, the great piie cure. - Hughson Ligon Co. Sumter needs a military company and should have ene. It would ne a good idea for Company M to reorganize as soon as mus? tered oot of* the United States service and thus perpetuate an honorable organization and give Sumter a first class military com? pany. The State will doubtless be more than willtog to furnish arms and other equipment io order that a company that was raised for active service io time of war may be maio laioed in time of peace. If the State will not equip the company if it is reorganised tb* people ot Snorer should do so-they cac if they will.

DeUrm?. CITY COUNCIL MEETING The City Council met in regular session on Wednesday evening with alii members present except Alderman Carsoo. Argument was heard io the cases of tb? city rs. R. M Wallace and the city rs. W. F. B. Hainsworth, hank presidents, on ap? peal from the assessments made upon their occup?t oo as bank presidents by Mayor Bos sard in the som or $75 each. Col Wallace waa represented by R. D. Lee, E?q , who contended that Col. Wallace, being president of a National Bank was not subject to taxation as such by the citr, but hst be would waite bib legal rights for the present sod would consent to pay a reasona? ble tax Maj Haynsworto represented himself He objected to the tax in-posed on the groond that it was excessive and ont of proportion to the tai imposed OD other occupations On motion of Mr. Purdy the tax waa 6xed at I per cent of the salaries received by the oank presidents. The tax of Col. Wallace wa3 accordiagly fixed at $13 50 aod that of Mnj Haynewortb at $10 Thia was agreed to ny both parties and the cases were settled accordingly, Ur A C Phelps was before the council by request to explain why the rate of insurance on the City Hall is so high. He explained the matter and made suggestions ic reference to putting ic automatic Sprinkler?, caoks aod backers to fight fir* in the Opera House to tbs end that a reduction of the rate may be se? cured. No action WAS taken and th", matter was deferred to the next meeting. The Finance Coe mit tee made the following report in reference to the tax le*y for the en sntng year : SoMTsa, S.C , Sept 26, 1898. To City Council : Gentlemen : Your Committee on Finance submit berewitb a statement of valuation of property of the pre3?nt year, together with taxes at 10 mills on the dollar to be realized therefrom, also income probably to be de? rived from other sources. In comparison with this we append a list of fixed expenses for tbe present year, which must certainly be met, except, perhaps, the contingent liability to tbe S k W. R. R. Tbis shows at least an apparent deficit of $1,656. In view of this sttte of affairs we cannot hesitate to recom? mend a levy of 10 mi i ls for city expenses. Particularly ia this necessary since there is a shrinkage ot $100 000 io valuation of prop? erty 88 can be seen by comparing tax book of 18)7 and 1898 Io order to provide against a probaole deficit of more than $11,656 it will be further necessary to adopt, and we recom? mend the adoption of a Itcease ordinance oo such business or occupation as require police regulation and supervision. In our state. met?t we have calculated an income of $2,000 from street commctatioo tax based opon a per capita levy of $3.00, which we consider necessary and j ?st, as it places the barden to a limited extent upon non-property owners, who eojoy advantage? of citizenship, and are subjected to little of its duties and burden?. We have considered this matter seriously as ns importance demands; but with an extra? ordinary expense of more than $2,0C0 occa? sion e J by the epidemic of smailpox, t broa ?fa wbicb we have so recently passed, the debts due for fire boee and drain piping, tbe shrink* age of vaiue?, all combine to the adoption of these suggestions as inevitable We Dav* found it necessary to make a levy of lj mills for interest on city bonds. Tbe former levy of f mills for school bonds will be sufficient. Therefore the total levy for io? terest on bonds will amoant t > two mills Income of c ty, $19,434 00 ; expenses, $21,140; apparent deficit, $1,656. Respectfully submitted, E W. HrjR3T, Chairman for Finance Committee The Police Coma it tee was authorized to permit the members of toe police force to arrange among themselves for alternating in getting off duty on Sunday to attend reli? gious services The Comu-ittee on Public Works recom? mend that the office of Street Commissioner be abo?hbed. The recorom n?ation wad dis? cussed al length but as no plan was proposed for sopervisiog the work on tbe streets after the services of the Street Commissioner shall be dispens?e with action was deferred until a subsequent meeting. A resolution wa3 adopted providing for the introduction of ao ordinance forbidding tbe putting of garbage on the streets by boose owners The ordinance now iu force requir? ing garbage to be put on tbe streets for re? moval by ;be scavanger carts wiil oe repealed if the proposed o'dioaoce is adopted. Action on tbe question of raising (be street como/Utatioo tax to $3 was postponed uattl tbe next meeting, when it will be rasen up in connection wit ri tbe general tax ordinance. A majority of tbe members of Company M arrived lu Sumter last Wednesday afternoon from Colombia. Tbey were granted leave of absence until the Regiment is mustered out of service. A detail of one sergeant, one corporal and twelve usen were left in the Cimp to guard iOTernmeot property and ail others were given permission to return home To say that the men are glad to get home does not half express it. So anxious were tbe? all to get ?way from camp that when volu'teers were called for to remain in camp on guard duty a guard could not be secured and the requisite number had to be detailed to Stay. Tbe returned soldiers were met at the depot Wednesday aften ooo and wei corned home t-y a crowd of their friends. They have beeo given a warm welcome borne and the boys have been made to feel that their absente bas caused none of them to be for? gotten.
